I usually hate summer overhead sunlight, especially when you can’t filter it with a tree or some shade.
However, in this photo the contrast between light and dark is so extreme that the old bugger (my Grandfathers age no doubt) looks like one of those plastic figurines that had a plastic base so they could stand.
There is also a sideways look at this fellow dressed like William Burroughs. Except without that gaunt heroin look.
